@skinnylatte I'm looking at taking the Coastal Starlight from San Jose to Monterey next month and found some stats showing dismal on-time performance. Does that match your recent experience? I can't find what year these data are from.
"Coast Starlight

Average arrival, all trains: 50 mins late . . .(
Average arrival, trains arriving late: 1 hour, 44 mins late"
